Elwyn’s Early Childhood Services has contracted with the Pennsylvania State Department of Education through its partnership with the Department of Public Welfare and the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) to provide Preschool Early Intervention to eligible young children in Philadelphia and the Chester-Upland area. This program is referred to as Special Education for Early Developmental Success (SEEDS). SEEDS provides Preschool Early Intervention for eligible children 3 to 5 years of age living in the city of Philadelphia and in the Chester-Upland area of Delaware County.

SEEDS coordinates Preschool Early Intervention services, performs multi-disciplinary evaluations, and contracts with provider agencies for ongoing Preschool Early Intervention services. Children are served in the least restrictive environment possible to meet their educational and developmental needs. Locations can include the child’s home, a Head Start center, a community day care or nursery school, or a center-based Preschool Early Intervention program. Services include special instruction, occupational therapy, speech therapy, physical therapy, and nursing or any combination of these.

Do you think your child needs Early Intervention Services and is between the ages of 3 and 5 years old? Call 215-222-8054 to make an appointment for an evaluation. Do not hesitate to contact us with any questions, concerns or issues about SEEDS Preschool Early Intervention services.
